5. Order and organisation are a bar to progress. Both are necessary to progress.

6. Mind does not keep the memory. Psychic does.

7. Intellectuals are stupid.

Intellect seeks explanations,

Supermind offers power.

8. People do not see the difference between aspiration and desire.

9. Body understands when it is on the point of being able to do. When do mind and vital understand? (Mind understands when the ideas are in harmony. Vital understands when the ener­gies are to be released because of harmony.)

10. Conscience is the adversary.

11. The dying man revived by Mother, putting him in contact with his body's will.

12. Mother's body is everywhere - as socialistic ideas are everywhere, Her body is everywhere since she acted on the body.

13. People coming to the Ashram now will find their difficulties unmanageable .[3]

19. Why should the concentration behind the heart reveal the psychic and not the Purusha?

20. When one deconditions himself of all that he has acquired since birth, what will be the state of his consciousness? Can he so decondition himself of his prebirth acquirement? If so, what will be the consciousness status?

21. (The same as 20) It is not as if the human raises itself to the Supramental plane to evolve further, but the human raises itself to the unmanifest Divine and monitors Supramental evolution in himself from the Supramental plane - comment?

Ram and Krishna are overmental divinities leading evolution in the human.

22. Are Ram and Krishna unmanifest Divine leading the evolution of the humanity from the overmental plane?

Is the parallel compelling? Or is it necessary? Does it exist?

23. Is not `hastening the evolution' out of place in the scheme of God and one which expresses more of the human urge than the Divine's purpose?

Here, the answer is that involution and evolution are His intentions, each giving its own order of delight, thus evolution being more delightful than the earlier involution. So, a quicker evolution gives greater delight, fulfilling the Divine Intention more fully.

As mental or vital work is more fully rewarding than the physi­cal, this evolution, even from the human point of view, is spiritual work at the level of the physical substance. Hence it is of far greater interest than any we know of, including 'Let Thy will be done.'

24. 'Soul in the mind' is better than `Soul in the body'. What are the ways or the points of expression in yogic results this assumption generates?

25. If the way of works leads to love and knowledge, does it mean love, knowledge and works do meet somewhere? If so, which is that plane? Why?

26. Brahman-Maya, Ishwara-Shakti, and Purusha-Prakriti are certainly experiences of a different order but still mostly in the range of spiritualised mind. Is it possible to more clearly define the relationship of each of these experiences with the different levels of the spiritual mind or outside it?

27. 'My life-long refuge, eternal refuge to curl up in the Lord has been taken away'.

Is it better to call 'Mother' or keep quiet in Peace?

28. Why do physicality and hostility go together?

29. Purna yoga uses the powers of the soul in the mind. (S.Y. p. 586)

What are the powers of the soul in the mind?

Intelligence and such faculties are powers of the mind.

Surrender is not a power of the mind or any part of the being.

Surrender is a power of the soul.

No part of the being can be controlled by itself, much less surrender.

Statements of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo which require a rational explanation

1. Purna Yoga does not accept a human Guru.

2. Karma is wiped out by Mother's Consciousness.

3. Opportunities missed bring in catastrophes.

4. Don't complain against anyone, if you cannot change him.

5. Truth will not act in conditions of falsehood. (Unless Truth acts in conditions of falsehood how can falsehood be re­moved?)

6. Love purifies without transformation.

7. Ashram is a cradle of new civilisation.

8. Thought and will are together in Supermind.

9. If politics is to be avoided, how can the yogi influence politics?

10. Perhaps the present civilisation is a revival of an earlier civilisation which lapsed.

11. The cells know they are immortal. They do not know they can be transformed.

12. The body cures itself.

13. One in a thousand is a real disease.

14. Separation of the mental act from the Person makes you see the ego.

15. A leaf or a fruit or a cup of water is necessary as offer­ing.

16. Siddhis come from the body consciousness.

17. If one body does it, every body can do it.

18. Twelve accomplished yogis are necessary.

19. Mother never believed in publicity.

20. Truth or the abyss.

21. At the end of the ascent to truth, it is not Truth that awaits, but a plunge into the unknown.

140. Man recognises that anger and such emotions are wrong but in his own mind recognises the validity of material laws like health, food, and so on. Material laws have no validity in the new manifestation.[47]

(Money lent five years ago has no legal reality. A greedy man's expectation of the entire project for himself has no practi­cal reality. Contractual obligations like higher pay for higher work has no political reality. Each is real in its own plane, not in a higher plane.)
